CBS' Jason La Canfora reports Vikings assistant GM George Paton has interviewed for the Lions' GM vacancy and will also speak to the Broncos. 

Paton has apparently already spoken with the Panthers and "withdrawn from the search." An annual general manager candidate, Paton seemed close to landing the Browns' job last season before withdrawing from that search, as well. Paton has now been with the Vikings for over 14 years.

Look in the article. It's confirmed they interviewed him yesterday.

I thought it was the same article and not updated. Shocked they didnt name him GM already, thought after they interviewed their "guy" they'd stop and just name him. I think Tepper is data collecting- "How would you fix the panthers team and scouting department???.... yes in details"..........end recording Tepper "Thanks for your time, we'll be in touch"

You just described scouts, which every team has a room full of. So you think we should just have one or two?

I mean, there’s a reason why individual scouts are assigned to individual regions - so there aren’t multiple scouts/talent evaluators giving you contradicting reports on the same prospects. My point is, I’ll take quality over quantity when it comes to talent evaluation. My “one or two evaluators” comment has more to do with the high level people who are going to be comprising the draft board.

Have said before, if I'm looking at making a financial decision, I'd absolutely ask David Tepper.

If it's a football decision though, I'd much rather talk to Matt Rhule.

Given the an acknowledged organizational commitment to "analytics" ---  how would you describe the difference/s in the decision making process between the two?

At some point all these guys are talking about prospects. I want a guy who knows talent extremely well over them. It shouldn't  be a compromise but a contribution.

Talent evaluation vs cap skills, I'm going the former every time unless we change the structure of the front office.

And Rhule did say thats what he wants and it would help him.

Clearly not as blown away by a candidate as they were by Rhule last year.

I would think it's easier to make the leap when you have nothing vs pairing to a guy with Rhule's contract.

Then again Hurney was in the room and we all know how he rolled...

Gotta admit it gives me a chuckle to know that he actively stumped for the guy who ended up getting him pushed out the door.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
